Re: I need help, not feeling well! Please

[Guest guest]

Were you taking hydrocortisone or adrenal supplments before you did this lab?

Also, where did you get it done? ZRT or somewhere else? If these are accurate,

it seems you might have signs of Cushings.

I would repost in the adrenal forum when it opens.

If you had your saliva test done by Diagnostechs you may want to redo it at a

more reliable lab. They are known for false high results. If you post to the

adrenal board, they will suggest www.canaryclub.com

No I am not taking anything as I don't know what to do. I thought might guide me. Yes, fatigue is very bad, dizzy/vertigo, joint pain, extreme anxiety, brain fog, muscle pain, blurry and distorted vision.Sent from my iPad

Your cortisol is very high. Are you taking anything for it? HC or Isocort?

Are you supplementing salt at all? I felt HORRIBLE before I started supplementing salt.

Anyother symptoms?

I was on adrenal supplements but stopped about a month prior to testing. I think the lab was diagnostics something. I don't look like I have cushiness, and or the symptoms of cushiness.Sent from my iPad

Val will be back with both groups tomorrow. If those tests are accurate they sure aren't right. I don't know enough about high cortisol to be able to advise

Have you been to a doctor? I think adrenal tumors can cause high cortisol but leave you 'looking' normal.

Post on the adrenal group as they have more experience in this

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/

Their FAQ Web site is here http://faqhelp.webs.com/

It MAY be that those raised cortisol levels will come back down when

you treat the RT3 issues

FT3/RT3 = 2700/261 = 10.35 = horrible, should be 20 or more

Start supplementing iron heavily, 150 to 200 of elemental iron a day

spread out in 2 doses.

After a couple of weeks then start T3 and ramp up slowly, hopefully

the ferritin will build as the T3 levels increase so you can tolerate

enough to be useful

Cortisol will stay high to start with but MAY reduce as the T3 levels

increase, the Adrenal group will give you a better indication of the

chances of that

If you are having trouble sleeping then try some Melatonin, maybe 3mg

at bed time

Check with the adrenal group how they feel about the chances of your

levels reducing.

The RT3 will be blocking receptors and will take 12 weeks to clear.
